Hi,

I am trying to add a keyword to every line after the field2. Can any one help with this.
The sample output is as follows.

Code:

1234 john keyword 2345
kathy 1256 keyword 3456

Hello rdhanek

Have a look at awk and sed; they would be good tools for that. The man pages aren't great for learning from so here are some links http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html, http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html, http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
